Activity Overview > Add a SubGroup to an Event

Use subgroups when working with events in child activity modules. Subgroups are useful if the event is a tournament and multiple sports matches are taking place. Choose from the same groups of pupils for each match in the tournament.

For example, create an event for a football tournament and add subgroups for the each of the teams playing ('U12s', 'U13s', etc). Then assign groups of pupils to each subgroup within the event.

• Sections must be created in the Configuration tab for subgroups to work as expected.
• Subgroups can only be added to events set up to use subgroups.

To add a subgroup to an event:

1. Select a child activity module from the module bar:
   
2. Select the Activity Overview tab and select an Event Overview option from the right hand menu:
   
   The Activity Events Today/Tomorrow/This Week/Next Week/This Month screen is displayed depending on your selection. All of these options work in the same way.

   Select either:
